Save the Trees and Win a Prize!

posted on behalf of Dolores Judkins and Linda Milgrom

Check the back of your closets for old conference bags, and bring them to the PNC meeting. Bring one or more bags you've collected at other meetings and events. Re-use one of yours, or swap with a friend for one more appealing. Donate bags to those folks who haven't been around long enough to have a closet full of bags. Enter one or more bags into the First Ever PNC/MLA Bag Contest.

Prizes will be awarded for bags in 5 categories:

1. From the conference (any conference but must be identified on the bag itself) held the longest ago

2. From the conference held at the greatest distance from Seattle

3. Bag with the most words on it

4. Bag from the oldest PNC/MLA or national MLA meeting

5. The ugliest all around bag

The first four categories are pretty objective, so any ties will be resolved by a drawing. The award for ugliest will be decided by those in attendance. Only canvas or fabric bags are eligible (no plastic shopping bags allowed).

PNC/MLA will *not* be distributing new bags this year.
